I really want a Barley's Russian Imperial Stout right now. A bunch of my friends are going to Columbus this weekend, and I'm so jealous.

That'll work just as well. Cold as [censored], poured in a glass, 'cause I'm classy. Little salt, 'cause I used to see my dad do it, and drink while listening to music.

Schlitz battle of the band commercials (classic).

YouTube - Marshall Tucker/38 Special commercial

This cacophony of classic-rock shilling is truly something to behold. First up, southern-rock ?luminaries? the Marshall Tucker Band (best known for their 1977 hit ?Heard It in a Love Song?) and .38 Special (best known for being fronted by the dead Lynyrd Skynyrd?s singer?s tinier brother?lookit that little guy!) duke it out over what?s better?a beer or ?the Bull.? Much like Mickey Rooney chasing giant bottles in the outback, the idea of a property-destroying bull being the symbol of a desirable brew is lost on us. Since when does chaos and destruction put somebody in the mood to make a run to the gas station?

YouTube - Schlitz TV Ad w/ AWB and Tommy James

Proving you?re never too old to rock a pinball machine OR a member?s only jacket, Tommy James and a few random Shondells think this is their goddamn bar. Beer?s the best, suckers! Who?s gonna tell ?em any different? Oh, just the friggin? Average White Band, that?s who. With their smooth sounds and dominant facial hair, these?no lie?Scottish lads are backin? the Bull. But unintentional comedy arrives in the form of the AWB?s lone black guy, who pushes his way to the front of the lineup when they advance on the poor Shondells. Just like ?Crimson and Clover,? we can watch this over and over.
Compared to the other insane Battle of the Bands Schlitz ad, The Bull crashing through the arcade game earns the TKO, leaving Marshall Tucker and the boys to lick their wounds and drink themselves into a stupor. But the question remains?did bars ever actually serve this stuff? Can you imagine a bartender?s face after asking him if he has Schlitz Malt Liquor on tap? The ?bull? would most likely be followed by another word.

From another thread, but it would be better addressed in this one.

While I've never tried Carib, and can't remark on its taste, you then compare it to four beers that taste nothing alike to one another. I have heard of Carib, and want to try it, but can't find it around here (Toledo area.)

As far as "Mexicany" beers, you list one of the worst Mexican cervezas, along with three American-made Corona wannabees. Even among the wannabees there are very distinct differences.
Landshark is the closest to copying the taste that the touristy cervezas seem to go for. It is even bottled in a clear bottle, to allow the hops oils to spoil, as does Corona, hence the need for a lime to drowned out the skunky taste. It is also pretty pricey, considering what you get.
Miller Chill does not taste like a beer to me. Not regular domestic (obviously,) not microbrewed, not Latin American, not European. It is more like a Zima, or a Mike's Hard, or Smirnoff Ice, or any of the malt beverage genre. Actually, I kind of like Miller Chill, but that does not mean it tastes like a limed Corona (which I do not like.)
Bud Light Lime is, IMHO, the worst thing Anheuser-Busch has ever produced. It seems to take the worst of the aspects of deskunking beer with lime, eliminate any cerveza-like flavor, and then mix in the things that make domestic beers truly mediocre, and that is what they came up with for Bud Light Lime.

A beer that I rediscovered over the summer is Mexicali. It is made independently from both Cerveceria Cuahtemoc Moctezuma (Sol, Dos Equis) brewery and Grupo Modelo (Corona, Pacifico) brewery - which makes it practically a microbrew. I had enjoyed it in my youth, but haven't seen it around for awhile. Turns out that they had closed down the brewery in the late 1980's and just reopened in 2000. It outsold Corona until they closed down (because the owner died.) The second best thing about it is that it is available here (not just here "USA", but here "Bowling Green, Ohio")
The very best thing about it is that it is delicious! Mexicali tastes about halfway between an Indio and a Bud Light. A solid, no surprises kind of flavor. Undemanding, no afterkick - and definitely no need for a lime to help choke it down. It is slightly sweet, as I think of a Bud Light kind of sweet, with very little flowery smell. Uncomplicated, and the hops are right there without being overpowering. Mexicany without being overwhelmingly so. A very good one for the days you just want a good beer without having to think about the flavor.

They taste similar to each other imo. Of course are some differences, their not all going to taste alike.
